PGM 810 : "DESERT DREAMFIELDS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a deep desert journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 7-27-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
INTRO: In the desert, extremes of sun, wind, temperature and
terrain challenge all living things to evolve a strategy for
survival. So desert travelers take it slow and steady. But for
those who venture into its vast spaces, the promise of discovery
awaits: a mythic environment of isolation and introspection,
concealed by panoramic expanses. In the words of EDWARD ABBEY,
the desert is a "window onto eternity."

PGM 809 : "AFRICAN GENESIS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a journey into the quiet heart of Africa
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 7-20-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
INTRO: The lilting songs of the Baka pygmies of Cameroon have
achieved international fame through the efforts of sympathetic
Western musicians. Just as DNA research has shown that Africa is
the origin point of the human species, in the last 200 years, the
infectious rhythms and harmonies of African music have bred new
styles of western music — originally laying the foundation for
blues, jazz and other forms of popular music, and more recently,
spawning a host of brilliant variations of what we now call
World Music.
While the majority of African music is for dance and celebration,
there's also a more contemplative sound. On this transmission
of Hearts of Space, we journey through the rhythms into the quiet
heart of African music...on a program called AFRICAN GENESIS.

PGM 808 : "ATLAS DEI"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : Robert Rich's music for the art film ATLAS DEI
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 7-13-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
INTRO: Ambient composer ROBERT RICH is one of the cardinal
artists of Hearts of Space. We started working with him in the
1970s when we were still a local radio program and he had yet
to release his first cassette recording. (You do remember
cassettes, don't you?)
From his early experiments with home-made analog synthesizers
and extended improvisations to his mature masterpieces,
Robert Rich and Hearts of Space have grown and developed
together for over 30 years.
We did a retrospective program of Robert's music at the turn of
the millennium, covering his recordings from the 1980's to 2000.
Since then, not only has he been extraordinarily productive, in
2007 he released his own compilation of his previous work.
Rather than a simple retrospective selection, he composed new
pieces, modified or remixed others, and tied the music to a
remarkable DVD art film in surround sound called ATLAS DEI,
produced with digital artist and filmmaker DANIEL COLVIN.
The film is described as "a lyrical journey through time and
space into the mystery of our cosmos...weaving the strands
of science, myth, and poetic vision into an eloquent tapestry
of the human enigma."
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, Robert Rich's
elegant electro-acoustic music from ATLAS DEI.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : ambient electronics meet tribal rhythms
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 7-06-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
INTRO: What's in a "tribe"? The word returned to popular culture
in the 1960s and has been in and out of fashion ever since.
Of course, in most of the so-called "third world," it's not fashion:
tribal societies are still the day-to-day reality, and musicians
from sophisticated Western countries have been finding
inspiration and vitality in tribal music for hundreds of years.
It makes sense: all of us have roots in tribal culture somewhere.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a report from the
intersection of ambient electronics and tribal rhythms called
TRANS-TRIBAL EXPRESS.
